Friday night finally arrived and Central Macon made their way to Dodge County High School’s (DCHS) stadium to compete in the first round of the region AAA state soccer tournament.

Soccer Coach Shelia Honeycutt kept telling our boys to “defend the teepee.” The boys kept saying “look up, get up and never give up.” These sayings couldn’t have been more appropriate for our all-out war against Central Macon. They were a team to be reckoned with. They were tough and wanted victory as much as our Indians did. [Full Story »]

R.I.P. Howard Phillips, 72 and Pat Summerall, 82. I’ll bet most have never heard of Howard Phillips. It was planned that way by the medialeft.

Politicians make a nice living manipulating others. Some, like vice plagiarist Crazy Joe Biden, are tax-feeding lifers, living off the taxpayers for 40-plus years. Liberal Demo Senator Montana Max Baucus, the “brain” behind Obamacare, 36 years living off your taxes, is hanging it up. Good riddance, but he left us with a medical mess. These folks are heroes to hero-worshipping leftists. Liberals hate term limits. That’s why we need them; term limits, not liberals. [Full Story »]
